### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not perfect, but overall the best iPhone 5c option out there.
  

*by W***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2016*

While there are a few things I would improve on this case, I really haven't found a better option.I just received it a few days ago and installed it right away.  I had previously been using a LifeProof NUUD.....which was a great case, but proved to not be so "life proof" and needed replacing after I dropped it a few too many times.  That said, if I ever do need a waterproof case again, I may try another LifeProof.I was at first hesitant to purchase an Otterbox after seeing my wife's phone get destroyed after a routine drop.  Unfortunately, I believe that she had purchased a counterfeit case as the quality of the two cases I purchased from Amazon were far better constructed.Pros:- Doesn't add too much bulk- Comes with a screen protector built-in (and it actually isn't too annoying to use!  I sometimes forget that it is on.)  This is a pro and a con for me.- It provides protection without muffling the mic.- The case is comprised of a front and back plastic chassis that is wrapped in a rubber outer covering.  It is easy to grip and feels good in the hand.- Overall a classy design for our 5c which seems to have limited options compared to the iPhone 5/5S.Cons:- The screen protector has cut-outs for the selfie-cam and primary function button.  I haven't experience it, but it looks like it could easily let dust, fuzz, and other debris get under the screen protector.  While it is one of the better screen protectors I have experienced, I will likely remove it and replace it with a piece of tempered glass.- I don't like having to open up an access panel in order to switch the Ringer to and from silent.  Not a deal breaker as I really like the rest of the case, but not my favorite design.Overall, I would recommend this case to my friends and family.

    Great case! Dropped multiple times and phone still works
  

*by A***2 on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022*

This is a really nice, functional case. Used it for over 5 years. Dropped the phone by accident on several occasions and the phone still worked. In fact, when I got another phone of a different size, I just bought this type of case in the other size. Initially was concerned the plastic might age in a rather sticky, unpleasant-to-the-touch way, but was pleasantly surprised that the outer plastic stayed together well, and didn't degrade even over years of use outdoors. If you open the little latches too much for where the charger is and the silent on/off switch, they will eventually, and I mean over years of use, will get loose, but otherwise the case worked great.

    Best case ever, still a few issues!
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2016*

The Otterbox Defender is the only cell phone case that my family and I use. We've had it for the 4S, 5, 5C, 5S and soon to be, several of the 6's.The Defender is the best cell phone case I have ever had. It really works! It does its job and protects your phone exactly as described in the product description. I have dropped my phone countless times. Once I even dropped it from about 6 feet high on to concrete and nothing at all happened to my phone! Of course the hard plastic of the case broke. That's what it's designed to do though. The best way I can describe it is by comparing it to a bicycle helmet. Helmets are designed to absorb the force from an impact and disperse it away from your head and brain. The important stuff. So if you get into an accident, chances are your helmet will break. Well the same thing applies with the Otterbox. It absorbs the force of an impact and directs it away from the important stuff, the phone! Twice now I've had a major drop and have had the Defender do what it's supposed to do. I had to buy replacements and even though they aren't cheap that's far cheaper than buying a new phone!One thing I do not like about the Otterbox Defender is the plastic screen cover. Honestly, the first thing I do when I get a new case is pop out that plastic piece and buy a good screen protector to replace it. I tried using it with the 4S and I hated it! It was way too loose and I had to press down too hard on the letters to get them to respond. So now I just pop out the plastic and toss. I'm sure it helps with water protection and dust protection but I don't really have a problem with that.Another thing that at first was getting the hang of taking the case off the phone. Some cases are easier than others but some of them seem just impossible to get open! Hard enough in fact that I've had to get a screwdriver to try to make it easier. Like I said, I think that eventually you do get the hang of it because I haven't been having this problem lately.The last small complaint I have about the Defender is in regards to the soft plastic outer shell. After a while, it has a tendency to stretch out and become loose. Especially at the bottom where the charging port is. Maybe this is because that part of the case is being stretched out over and over again because of charging? All I know is it's happened to all of my cases as well as my kids cases.Bottom line, despite a few issues, the Defender is still my go to cell phone case. I would recommend it to a friend and in fact have on many occasions.
